strike eagle jet went down just outside of the eastern rebel stronghold of benghazi. both crewmembers said to have suffered minor injuries but both are safe now in american hands despite landing in two different locations. the united states says it's scaling back its role in operation odyssey dawn over libya. international forces led most of the latest missions against ruler moammar qaddafi's forces. a third straight night of bombing has stopped their advances. but disorganization among rebels is keeping them from taking advantage. it is 6:00. there is new danger at that damaged nuclear power plant in japan. a japanese nuclear safety official says a pool for storing spent fuel is heating up and is near the boiling point. those high temperatures likely caused the steam that's been billowing out of reactor number 2 since yesterday. the danger is that if all the water boils way, the fuel rods will be exposed. crews at the plant have hooked up power cables to all six

reactors. electricity is crucial so that its cooling pumps can start operating the fukushima plant but right now only one pump in one reactor is working. hundreds of american military families from japan are expected to arrive in northern california shortly. sharon is at travis air force base where the first flight is due back right about now. i don't know if they have landed but let's toss it over to sharon and find out. good morning. >> reporter: good morning, frank. really, any minute now. the first flight due to arrive in about 6:05 this morning on a dc-10. in all, more than 500 military family members and their pets due to arrive at travis air force base. the second flight is expected around 8:00 this morning. all these people voluntarily evacuated from japan. they will be coming here on military charter flights. now, travis is the second arrival site for the voluntary evacuation of military families from earthquake and tsunami-

ravaged japan. two flights have already transported hundreds of dependents to seattle airport yesterday. once the evacuees returned to the u.s. military personnel will help them get settled finding hotels or helping them to travel to their final destinations. when the u.s. defense department authorized the voluntary departure program last week, about 9,000 people expressed interest so this week as a result at least 20 charter flights will be bringing military families home from japan and given the earthquake and tsunami and radiation damage from the power plants in japan it's not known when or if the families will go back to japan. but some hundreds of them will be expected to arrive here at travis air force base. the expected time is 6:05. really could be anytime so we are looking for that dc-10 to arrive here. frank? >> well, it sounds like a lot of activity there. we'll check in again, sharon.

thank you very much. live at travis air force base this morning. a police manhunt this morning for a driver who allegedly tried to kidnap a peninsula teenager. redwood city police say a suspect pulled into a driveway in the 100 block of arch street yesterday and and told the 14- year-old to get into the car but the girl go away. he drove off in a newer model sedan with dry-cleaning in the window. he is white, 40s, short gray hair, heavy set, last seen wearing sunglasses. the jury has been selected now in the perjury trial of barry bonds. and this morning, lawyers for the two sides will be making opening statements. elizabeth wenger is in san francisco with more on the first witness expected to be called this morning. elizabeth, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. that's right. the first witness expected to take the stand is actually bonds' personal trainer. that would be greg anderson.

now, he is expected to refuse to testify, continue his vow of silence so that means he could be jailed for the duration of this approximately four-week trial. and he has already been in jail for more than a year on similar charges. let's go to some video taken yesterday as that perjury trial got under way in san francisco yesterday for the former giants slugger barry bonds. the jury of eight women and four men will decide if bonds lied to a federal grand jury in 2003. the home run champ had denied using steroids to a grand jury looking into whether balco labs sold illegal performance- enhancing drugs. the judge yesterday told jurors not to watch tv, listen to the radio or read newspapers, facebook or twitter during the course of the trial. >> it's about finding 12 people who will do exactly what their job is, which is to pay attention to the evidence that's presented to them, that has been investigated by cross- examination, which nothing else has up until today. so these people are going to be

the true experts in this case. we want them to be that. >> reporter: now, the jurors were excused yesterday afternoon without hearing any testimony. first they have to get through opening statement which begin here today. the judge is also planning to read the jury instructions on how to consider evidence and it's approximately a two-week to four-week trial. that all starts in a couple of hours. >> thank you, elizabeth wenger in san francisco. julie watts, we have been kind of having a little fun with her because she got stuck in the sierra over the weekend didn't make it into work yesterday. >> watching too many movies and not the weather? >> what movies did you watch? you watched seven. >> one of them i don't think i can say the name on tv. it's not a bad movie but it was inappropriate for saying on tv. on facebook i had to admit i'm a meteorologist and i didn't see the snow coming. i didn't think it would come that soon. it came ahead of schedule. >> everybody is unexpected with

system that will bring with it some pretty impressive rain totals. here's a look at vallejo where we are seeing one light to moderate cell pass through right now heading off to the northeast. and this will be what you can expect throughout the day, just scattered light showers. turning to your planner heading out the door this morning, temperatures are mild in the 40s for most folks areawide. cloudy with scattered showers for much of the morning and then drying out by midday. it's later this afternoon we'll start to see a chance of rain back in the picture. and then widespread rain likely by your evening commute. you will also notice breezy conditions ahead of the front. southeast winds at 20 miles per hour as you approach that evening commute and as we await that approaching front bringing with it some rain. here's a look at what to expect over the next 12 hours or so. again, this is just light scattered showers and clouds ahead of that warm front. but it's the passage of a cold front behind it that will bring with it heavy rainfall tonight through the first half of your wednesday and again breezy conditions, as well. now, thursday into friday, yet

another weather system. you combine these two along with already saturated soil and we are anticipating the possibility of an urban and small stream flood advisory not issued just yet. we expect floods over the next couple of days. pinpoint forecast shows it dry during the day but the evening commute shows rain making its way inland. heavy rain offshore for the evening commute will move in overnight and for the first part of your wednesday morning commute. by the time we are done with the first round of rain we could see up to two inches of rain in the north bay and a couple of inches in the santa cruz mountains for the highest elevations. three-quarters inch possible for the south bay about an inch in the east bay and 1.5 for the peninsula. temperature-wise, pretty mild today, highs today in the upper 50s to near 60 for some of the warmest locations and again this is just the first round of rain this week. we see a second move in thursday into friday with more impressive rain totals and then again another round of showers on saturday. we don't see a break in the forecast until sunday and it is still a bit far out to place

any bets on a dry pattern further out. the eastshore freeway, a quiet commute. actually light westbound eastshore freeway, all the way from the carquinez bridge no delays to report or accidents, 37 miles per hour but that's typical. that's just approaching emeryville. no delays -- we are seeing extra volume overall but still quiet, metering lights still off at the bay bridge toll plaza. we have slick surfaces and wind advisory. two hands on the steering wheel this morning. clear across the upper deck into san francisco, no problems on the lower deck into oakland. 880 oakland not too bad northbound still good into the maze no major delays. south 880 easy ride. nice speeds out of oakland into hayward towards the san mateo bridge, things good there, as

let's get back to the news. >> thank you. we thank you. 6:30 the time. two us air force flyers safe after their plane crashed in libya last night. this is our first look at the wreckage of that plane. crewmembers suffered minor injuries. they ejected at high altitude, landed in separate areas but the military says both now in american hands and should be okay. the african command says their air force f-15 strike eagle jet had mechanical failure when it went down outside an eastern rebel stronghold. officials don't think the jet was shot down. this comes as the united states is scaling back its role in operation odyssey dawn over libya. international forces led most of the missions against moammar qaddafi's forces. disorganization among rebels is keeping them from taking the advantage. a new setback it the damaged nuclear planted in japan. a nuclear safety official says a pool for storing the spent

fuel is close to the boiling point. it's now believed those high temperatures are the cause of the steam rising out of reactor 2 since yesterday. the danger that if all the water boils wait fuel rods will be exposed. crews at the damaged and leaking plant have now hooked up power cables to all 6 reactors. electricity is crucial so that cooling pumps can start operating at the fukushima plant. but right now, just one pump in only one reactor is working. a plane loaded with american service members' families touching down at travis air force base 15 minutes ago. the flight brought hundreds of family members from japan where they have been stationed when the earthquake and tsunami hit earlier this month. a second plane is expected to arrive at travis later this morning. other flights arriving at the sea-tac area near seattle over the weekend. thousands of u.s. families are catching the voluntary flights home from japan. it is 6:32.

opening statements are set to start at 9:00 this morning in the barry bonds perjury trial, then the first witness will be called. elizabeth wenger is in san francisco with more on that and who is on the jury. she joins us now. good morning. >> reporter: that's right. good morning. a lot to cover this morning, frank. that's right. as you mentioned, all eyes will be on the first witness, that would be bonds' former former personal trainer greg anderson. now, he is expected to refuse to testify. essentially, he is continuing his vow of silence. so that would mean he would be jailed for the duration of this approximately four-week-long trial. let's go out to some video. this was taken yesterday as the perjury trial of former giants slugger barry bonds got under way in san francisco. the jury of eight women and four men will decide if bonds lied to a federal grand jury in 2003. the home run champ had denied using steroids to a grand jury looking into whether balco labs sold illegal performance- enhancing drugs. the judge yesterday told jurors not to watch tv, listen to the radio, read newspapers, facebook or twitter, all the

social media, during the course of this try. now, some potential jurors got dismissed because they were either fans or not fans of bonds himself. one such fan told us, quote, i would be reluctant to render a judge the against a great athlete like mr. bonds. another potential juror former flight attendant worried she would have a negative bias towards bonds, telling the judge she had to work baseball charter flights and presumably didn't like it. the jurors didn't hear testimony yesterday. first they have opening statements this morning. today the judge is also planning to read jury instructions on how to consider evidence. and as we have been saying, the first witness, bonds' personal trainer, is expected to stand before the jury this morning so a lot going on this morning. it all starts in just about two hours from now. frank, sydnie, back to you. >> elizabeth, only took one day to seat the jury. i'm surprised because this case

is so well known with barry bonds. >> reporter: yeah. i know. i mean, they did it quick in five hours i believe yesterday. they got all jurors assembled and ready to go to start today around 9:00. >> we'll see where it all goes. thank you, elizabeth wenger in san francisco. let's go back to julie watts now with a look at your forecast. and scattered showers, but you have to keep the umbrella handy. they are out there. >> you definitely need an umbrella throughout the week today. down here and up in the sierra, as well. and in fact, as you guys have been mentioning throughout the day, i was snowed in. i wasn't here yesterday thankfully lawrence filled in because of this. and here's live look up at lake tahoe right now. you can see we still have some snow flurries although sometimes it's hard to tell if it's the wind blowing the snow off the trees or if it's new snow coming down. we are expecting a couple of feet of snow from the next round of rain that we'll see here locally. this is the leading edge of that scattered showers throughout the bay this morning, not widespread rain. more than likely you won't see

sprinkles on the windshield just a few isolated areas of rain this morning on hi-def doppler. later today it changes. an approaching front will bring widespread rain in time for the evening commute. meantime, this morning scattered showers, 40s for the most part. here's gianna with the morning commute. >> the hotspot is the bay bridge toll plaza. metering lights are on and traffic is back up quickly. we are dealing with some slick surfaces in some spots. one of the areas is the bay bridge toll plaza, slow and go to the first overpass and some of the fastrak lanes as well as the cash lanes. give yourself some extra time. san mateo bridge problem-free but reflection there from the headlights so slick surfaces here, as well. 13 minutes 880 to 101. south bay not bad, 101 problem- free. lots of green as you work your way northbound. if you are taking 280 through san jose, extra volume through downtown san jose but overall pretty quiet as you head

through there. no troubles through milpitas. we'll check the 17 coming up next. back to you. >> thank you. it is a monumental clean-up task. a massive rockslide that's left dozens of families just stuck in their homes. >> some big rocks to clean up this morning. crews will try to figure it out this morning. kcbs radio's matt bigler is in santa cruz to show us what they are dealing with. matt, take it away. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. we are talking about two dozen homes, possibly more, in the santa cruz mountains effectively cut off from the outside world at least to cars. the reason of course is this massive mud slide that flowed across nelson road yesterday. it started slowly, gradually became a shower of rocks, shale, trees even. and a bunch of other debris that has made that road inaccessible. that road is key because it's only way in or out for this residential area. folks who live on two roads,

nelson and skymeadow lane. that's some 20 to 30 homes in there. there is no way for them to get out. now, as you said, that pile of debris is not expected to be cleared for several days because a geologist has to come in, has to check out the slide, sign off on it make sure it's secure enough to be moved away to be cleared out. until that happens, it's just going to sit there and it probably won't happen until the rain stops because if anything, that slide could start sliding once again. in the meantime, folks who do live in the residential area are able to get to their homes but they have to do it on foot. basically they are driving up to the slide, getting out of the car, walking about 15 minutes -- i should say hiking, it's a hike, around 15 minutes around the slide to another part of the road, and from there they can call a neighbor or family members and have them come and pick them up. so it's quite an extensive process to get in and out at this point. the one bit of good news in all this, is that pg&e has said they have restored power to

almost all of homes on the other side of the slide. pg&e is working on it. that's the latest from the santa cruz mountains. back to you guys. >> thank you, matt bigler from kcbs radio. this morning, police on the peninsula looking for a driver who allegedly tried to abduct a teenager. redwood city police say the suspect pulled into a driveway in the 100 block of arch street yesterday afternoon and told the 14-year-old to get into the car but the girl ran away. the suspect drove off in a newer model gray four-door sedan with dry-cleaning in the driver's side rear window, white, 40s, heavy set, last seen wearing sunglasses. nearly two million students go to schools in districts with financial problems. the "contra costa times" reporting five struggling districts are in the east bay. john swett schools are on the short list of schools that

might not be able to pay bills through the end of next year. several other districts might run out of money before two more years pass including emery, hayward, mount diablo and oakland. there is some money out there, but it's a long shot at best. huge prize for tonight's mega millions jackpot. >> if that's not enough reason to buy a lottery ticket, the price hike in store for two major airlines. >> the market just opened about 10 minutes ago. let's check it. jason brooks with kcbs and cbsmoneywatch.com will have your financial news. much more coming up right after this. ,,,,,,

twizzlers. the twist you can't resist.

welcome back. we are tracking scattered showers on hi-def doppler this morning. not widespread rain, but you might drive through a cell as you head into work this morning starting off with the south bay, you can see a light rain shower just through cupertino to the northeast of campbell and here's one towards saratoga about to cross the 85. we'll see showers like this throughout the day, not everyone getting rain but there is a possibility for the first half of the day.

chance of showers with mild temperatures in the upper 30s to mid-40s for the most part. cloudy, showers out the door this morning. this afternoon chance of rain, widespread rain approaching just time for the evening commute. ahead of the front breezy out of the southeast at 20 miles per hour. from the satellite perspective you can see scattered showers, light scattered showers, nuisance rain ahead of the front, which is still offshore. that will make its way inland later on tonight bringing with it heavy rain tonight through wednesday and another round even more impressive rain totals thursday through friday. breezy as we see the front pass. combine the two systems with already saturated soil and i do think we will see a small stream urban flood advisory sometime this week, not issued just yet. but i think it's coming. meantime, pinpoint forecast shows rain at the evening commute heavy overnight through

the wednesday morning commute. in terms of the totals, 2" at the higher elevation in the north bay and the santa cruz mountains, inch and a half for the peninsula, less this is south bay and east bay. again showers really off and on throughout the workweek. temperatures mild, upper 50s to near 60 areawide. here's the seven-day forecast. rain pretty much every day. so the first system passes through this evening into the first half of wednesday. the next system a wetter system moves in thursday into friday. another round of rain on saturday. our first period of dry weather looks to be the second half of the weekend. now for a check of the roads, here's gianna. >> i don't know about you, julie, but i'm ready for some dry weather. >> hang in there, it's coming. accident on highway 17 northbound at redwood estate, it's on the shoulder but seeing yellow on the screens on the southbound side so things are busy on 17, as well as northbound 85 coming away from 17. highway 4, business as usual.

speeds down to 9 miles per hour westbound from a street to somersville. gets better through pittsburg but typical. altamont pass looks like it's heating up. westbound busy from the altamont pass to the 680 along 580 taking you about 20 minutes. if you are coming off the eastshore freeway, we are seeing some yellow here on our sensors. so traffic actually getting slow west bound eastshore freeway coming out of richmond. bay bridge toll plaza, traffic backs up to west grand. metering lights are on. slick surfaces so take it easy. oakland northbound delays into the maze, southbound 880 not too bad towards the hayward area but overall some extra volume. marin county, one of the bright spots actually now no delays, in fact checking our sensors, 60 miles per hour along 101. if you are going to mill valley, traffic nice through there. headed towards the golden gate
